Writing Rules! Charles Gulotta

This book takes a friendly and humorous approach to many of the most common grammar, spelling, and usage problems. It also walks the reader through the various stages of essay writing, from conception to first draft to revision. Rules are addressed in terms of their context: what may be okay in speech or a creative writing class assignment may not be okay on a standardized writing test. Cartoons appear throughout. The book also features dozens of practice questions and exercises. Perfect for junior-high and high school students, and anyone who needs to improve writing skills.
